There's a lot of kissing that goes on in Europe. The French call it gros bisous.
Yesterday I saw two distinguished businessmen meet in front of the Palais des Nations, greet each other an "Allo, mon ami", and then go in for a big double snog.
Try that on Bay Street.
Next time you're renegotiating your mortgage, butter up your broker with a gros bisous on the way in.
It doesn't really work outside Quebec. Ours is not a demonstrative nation.
Around here, where you're from determines the number of kisses you're likely to plant, too. The French go for two and the Belgians go in for three.
I think someone does four. Probably the Spanish or Italians - just because they seem to really know how to live.
The whole kissing protocol is knew to me, so I never really know how many to kisses to give or for how long. It can be dangerous.
I've come perilously close to knocking myself and others out.

Polish typically go for three but I always get confused and only go for two, so then there's that awkward moment when one person goes for the third but the other doesn't...c'est la vie!
Surprisingly, the Dutch also go in for three!
